Hi all,

This pertains only to Pd under Linux, not NT:

There's probably a way to exploit Pd 0.33 and 0.33patch1's setuid property.
I've closed the loophole in Pd 0.33 patch 2, available on the website,

http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html

I urge anyone with Pd installed in Linux to do the upgrade soon...

cheers
Miller
